Army of Lovers - Carry My Urn to Ukraine

Copied!

Clash of the titans when rivers we cross
Death of an icon incredible loss
Under the banner we march in the rain
Like when you carry my urn to Ukraine

While the train is in motion
Enbalm me in lotion
And toast magic potions
I drink and I'm dead

Raise a flag on the Russian soil
Kiss the ground on a mortal coil
Slowly progress through Belarus
Cannibals cook a slavic mousse
Cosmonaut bred in Baykonur
Hail contessa hail De La Cour
Phosphorate like a beast to bait
I cremate I delegate

Clash of the titans when rivers we cross
Death of an icon incredible loss
Under the banner we march in the rain
Like when you carry my urn to Ukraine

Sacrificing a has-been
The death of a virgin
A life in the margin
No water no bread

Face yourself in a crystal ball
Chernobyl rise Chernobyl fall
Slice the churches for onion rings
Art for trade in the art world swing
Drown the czar in a scent Cartier
Scrambled eggs by FabergŽ
Phosphorate like a beast to bait
I cremate I delegate

Clash of the titans when rivers we cross
Death of an icon incredible loss
Under the banner we march in the rain
Like when you carry my urn to Ukraine
While the train is in motion
Enbalm me in lotion
And toast magic potions
I drink and I'm dead

Trapped in between on a bureau desk
Forward architect Stalinesque
Army Of Lovers on parade
Flash lingerie and then invade
Drown the czar in a scent Cartier
Scrambled eggs by FabergŽ
Phosphorate like a beast to bait
We cremate we delegate

Clash of the titans when rivers we cross
Death of an icon incredible loss
Under the banner we march in the rain
Like when you carry my urn to Ukraine

While the train is in motion
Enbalm me in lotion
And toast magic potions
I drink and I'm dead
Sacrificing a has-been
The death of a virgin
A life in the margin
No water no bread

Clash of the titans when rivers we cross
Death of an icon incredible loss
Under the banner we march in the rain
Like when you carry my urn to Ukraine

Clash of the titans when rivers we cross
Death of an icon incredible loss
Under the banner we march in the rain
Like when you carry my urn to Ukraine

edit bio

Army of Lovers is a Swedish dance-pop group that formed in 1987 and gained international success throughout the 1990s. The founding members of the band were Alexander Bard, Jean-Pierre Barda, and Camilla Henemark (also known as La Camilla). They had previously worked together in a band called Barbie.

Known for their outlandish visual appearance and high camp music videos, Army of Lovers became famous for their catchy dance-pop songs. One of their biggest hits was Crucified, which charted for 31 weeks in the Eurochart and peaked at number 14 in 1992. Another notable success was Obsession, which charted for 32 weeks and peaked at number 29.

The band’s name is a reference to the documentary film “Army of Lovers or Revolt of the Perverts” by German gay rights activist Rosa von Praunheim, which in turn alludes to the Sacred Band of Thebes.

Throughout their career, Army of Lovers had many top 10 hits on the Eurochart, with Crucified being one of the best-selling European singles of 1991. Their total album sales reached seven million copies worldwide.

Despite their success in Europe, Army of Lovers had limited presence in the United States and the United Kingdom, with their popularity mainly confined to club chart successes. However, Crucified did manage to reach the Top 40 in the UK Singles Chart in 1992.

The band experimented with various club sounds and samples on their first album, “Disco Extravaganza,” which was later re-issued as “Army of Lovers” in the US. They achieved greater commercial success with their album “Massive Luxury Overdose,” which included hits like Crucified, Ride the Bullet, and Obsession. The album sold 250,000 copies in Germany alone.

Army of Lovers released several more albums, including The Gods of Earth and Heaven and Glory, Glamour and Gold. They disbanded in 1996, but briefly reunited in 2001 to celebrate their 10th anniversary with the release of a best-of compilation called “Le Grand Docu-Soap.”

In 2012, the band reformed with Alexander Bard, Camilla Henemark, and Jean-Pierre Barda, and participated in the Melodifestivalen 2013 with the song Rockin' the Ride. However, internal conflicts led to lineup changes, with Dominika Peczynski replacing Camilla Henemark.

Army of Lovers continues to make live performances on special occasions, and they released a new best-of compilation called “Big Battle of Egos” in 2013. The band remains an iconic figure in the dance-pop genre, with their unique style and memorable hits.
